Subject: GEM install problem using setup.rb

Desperate newbie spent most of the afternoon trying to get gem to work
on her Mac (Leopard).  Went so far as to compile and install ruby (went
fine) and then ftp the zip file for Gems 1.3.6, dated 20-Feb-2010.  Ran
setup.rb and got the following output (unchanged from when I tried a
regular update at the beginning of the day)
sudo /usr/local/bin/ruby setup.rb
./lib/rubygems/config_file.rb:125:in `merge': can't convert
Gem::SourceIndex into Hash (TypeError)
  from ./lib/rubygems/config_file.rb:125:in `initialize'
  from ./lib/rubygems.rb:274:in `new'
  from ./lib/rubygems.rb:274:in `configuration'
  from ./lib/rubygems.rb:520:in `path'
  from ./lib/rubygems/source_index.rb:66:in `installed_spec_directories'
  from ./lib/rubygems/source_index.rb:56:in `from_installed_gems'
  from ./lib/rubygems.rb:736:in `source_index'
  from ./lib/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:86:in `init_gemspecs'
  from ./lib/rubygems/gem_path_searcher.rb:21:in `initialize'
  from ./lib/rubygems.rb:684:in `new'
  from ./lib/rubygems.rb:684:in `searcher'
  from ./lib/rubygems.rb:683:in `synchronize'
  from ./lib/rubygems.rb:683:in `searcher'
  from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:34:in `require'
  from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/tmpdir.rb:14
  from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'
  from ./lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
  from setup.rb:95

Please help.  Thank you,Linda
